Each morning I walk past you
enclosed in a glass box
with a red painted sign
that lets me know in an emergency
I’m allowed to break in
Each afternoon I will
place you in waxed paper
and press you between
musty leather bound Testaments
that teach me your Revelations
And each night before bed
I will take you off of my finger
and put you in a hinged velvet box
that reminds you and me
of your ultimate value
